Computer time is cheaper in Egypt.
We did an overnight convoy back to Cairo–long ride. Checked in to the same hostel that my friend had stayed at earlier, for the day, rested some, then my traveling friend wanted to do some shopping for her family. We did quite a bit of walking around, but she never did find the market she had been to before when she’d started her trip in Egypt. We had something to eat, slept a couple of hours.
Then we did find the market by taxi on the way to the airport that evening and she got her family some gifts. She was flying to Amsterdam and then on to America in the AM. My flight left at 10:30PM for Tel Aviv. Israel security really puts one and one’s baggage through a checking. It’s necessary. I stayed at a bed and breakfast in Tel Aviv and then came north early afternoon. Had my travel book open on the train and reading about the Mediterranean, looked up and there is was lapping waves at me. Saw some surfing in one area.
I had wanted to stop at Caesarea first, but didn’t seem to be any hostels there so I can go back there for a day trip I think. I can go to Akko and Nazareth from here. Then maybe get a base at Tiberius. If I have time, I’d like to go back to Jerusalem to see the museums.
It was raining (again) when I came in, but sun was out this morning. 
It’s the Sabbath here now so everything is mostly closed. Quiet. Nice.
Take care,
Caryl
